I am SO SICK of Trump and his MAGA losers vilifying SNAP recipients
The people that get SNAP are generally hardworking Americans that aren’t paid nearly enough by companies like Amazon and Walmart
And THESE are the people whose benefits they eliminate
While giving billionaires more tax breaks

Senate Democrats asked for a year of ACA subsidies and were told to fuck off.
So they came back and asked for a pinky promise to hold a vote on ACA subsidies that they will assuredly lose?
